FRISCO, Texas — Landon Collins, Dak Prescott has heard you.
A day after Collins said the Giants have a better shot of winning Sunday night if they can stop running back Ezekiel Elliott and put the ball in Prescott’s hands, the Cowboys quarterback shot back.
“Challenge accepted,” Prescott said in the locker room Thursday after practice. “Challenge accepted.”
Prescott had already been itching to get back on the field Sunday after a disappointing season opener, but Collins served up an extra bit of motivation, as if the Cowboys’ quarterback was looking for any more.
After electrifying the NFL as a rookie in 2016, when he stormed onto the scene and stole the starting job from an injured Tony Romo, Prescott has at times struggled to meet the high expectations he set for himself.
